A little background.
A friend of mine has just bought a 14" ultrabook with a 1366*768 display. The usual commerical, mainstream, low quality, standard display.
I suggested him to go for a 1600*900 display or to go for a 13.3 Zenbook (IPS, 1920*1080).
He told me that these resolutions would be too small for him, since at home he uses his Samsung 24" HD LED Display at a 1024*768 resolution, in order to have bigger icons and text.
I told him that this is (almost) a crime, that one should use the native display resolution (1080p in this case) and then rescale it increasing the DPI (120%, 150% or custom).
I know that I'm right, or at least I'm pretty sure of it.
It's just that I don't have enought technical knowledge to answer correctly and without any doubt to his points that I'm posting here.
Therefore I'm asking for your help.
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for my long post.
Here it's what I told me:
